LABOR MARKET INFORMATION FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS IN MONTANA

Area Coverage

This report includes population and labor force information for the
State of Montana from the 1970 Census and from the 1978, 1977, and 1976
Current Population Survey (CPS) annual average estimates prepared by the
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Billings Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area, defined as all of Yellowstone County, and the Great
Falls Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, defined as all of Cascade
County are presented using information from the 1970 Census and current
Annual Labor Force Reports prepared by the Research and Analysis Section
of the Employment Security Division.
Statistical Data And Their Significance:

The tables which follow are designed to provide labor market information
to assist employers in evaluating the utilization of women and minorities
in their work force and in establishing goals to improve such utilization.
The data in this publication meet or exceed the minimum requirements of
the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Revised Order No. 4, Subpart B,
Paragraph 6- -2.11: Section (a), (1), (i), - (v) and (2), (i) - (v).
Tables 1 through VIII contain statewide 1978 annual average information
on the civilian labor force, employment and unemployment. Various occupa-
tions and industries are listed, with male and female categories, age
groups, and white and non-white divisions included. Three of the tables
show full-time or part-time employment status, industry of the last
job held, and duration of unemployment.

The Caveat Section includes Table XI, Standard Errors of Estimated
Numbers, whfch should be used in conjunction with the sections on
1977 and 1976 CPS estimates. Table I through Table X.

The Historical Series (Tables XII, XIII, and XIV) for Montana
Statewide, Billings, and Great Falls SMSA contain labor force in-
formation which is available on a monthly basis from the Research
and Analysis Section of the Montana Employment Security Division.

Table XIV shows the composition of Montana's population at the time
of the 1970 Census. In Montana, the enumeration of persons of Spanish
heritage was based on data from the 15% sample on mother tongue and
therefore nearly all racial groups are included. Persons of Spanish
heritage were classified mostly as white unless self-identification
of the respondent denoted some other race. The category "other"
includes Korean, Aleut, Eskimo, Malayan, Polynesian, etc.

Tables XVI, XVII, and XVIII contain civilian labor force, employment

and unemployment information and show the relative composition of

these categories by county, sex, and minorities at the time of the
1970 Census.

Table XVIV shows the 1970 Census percent distribution of employed
persons 16 years and over by occupation, total and female, by race
and ethnic groups for the state of Montana, fifty-six counties, and
the part of Yellowstone Park which lies in Montana.

Services to Employers

The Montana Job Service is prepared to assist employers in non-
discriminatory recruitment, and also has current labor market information
and can advise employers on available publicly sponsored job training
programs including government financed on-the-job training. There are 24
local Job Service offices in the principle cities of Montana. You are
invited to call on any of these offices for assistance in your organiza-
tion, additional labor market information, and for other services connected
with your employment problems.

CAVEAT SECTION

CAVEAT SECTION

The information in this publication for 1978 and 1979 was based on a
sample rather than a complete count. Consequently, the estimates may
differ from the figure that would have been obtained if it were possible
to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures. In
general, the error of a sample estimate varies inversely with the size
of the sample and the size of the estimate. Hence, an estimate for a
subgroup constituting a small proportion of the population will have a
relatively higher error than an estimate for a subgroup constituting a
large proportion of the population within that area.

Standard error tables make it possible to compute the relative error
(standard error divided by estimate size) of a sample estimate, and
to compare two sample estimates using a standard statistical test of
significance. The standard errors in this section can be used
directly to develop 68 percent confidence intervals for sample
estimates. Standard errors for 90 - percent confidence intervals can
be computed by multiplying the standard errors in this section by
1.65; for 95 - percent confidence intervals, 1.96 should be used.

The interpolated standard error for an estimate of 22,000 total
unemployed for Montana is:

z = : !:(c-b)/(a-b): X (x-y)D + y

where a = published size immediately above the size desired (25,000)
b = published size immediately below the size desired (10,000)
c = size desired (22,000)
X = standard error of a (2,000)
y = standard error of b (1,000)
z = standard error of c (1,800)
